second this, and at the end of the day you want an something more of a peace of mind kinda thing go for crucial,they are the same suppliers for apple oem rams.

i wanted to, but ordering from their website is too expensive. no more bulk?

ya, any bulk or tumpang??

Yeah you're right. Thats what I did for mine. Went to Lowyat Plaza and find the cheapest RAM. Ended up with a pair of Corsair 2GB DDR3 for RM140 a pop. Everyone was selling from RM145-155.

davidmak, you recommend Corsair to 2GBx2 DDR3 RAM to work on the MBP 13"?

I need to purchase RAMs, but not sure which ones to get. Either Apple approved

RAMs, or value RAMs, that are known to work efficiently with macbook pros.

apple approved ram is always expensive like kingston KTA compare with the normal ram.

i remember i posted an ebay link here last time, btw even as a reseller i find it tough to bring in the rams cause shipping is high plus the tax sheesh.

http://cgi.ebay.com.my/NEW-Crucial-4GB-2X2...22#ht_561wt_909

do contact the seller regarding postage details, it should otherwise be free.

Yes, I recommend Corsair because I have been using them for 2 weeks now. No issues at all. For many times, I have tested quick boot up, reboots, damn fast sleep, shut down and wake... no problem at all. It just works. Just fill it up to 4GB total and you're good to go until next year. Then 4GB modules will be available and time to go 8GB total

But seriously, 4GB will be enough for the entire lifetime of the machine. 4GB is aplenty for heavies like video edit, photo edit, etc.

that's the thing. thx 4 the link. he's in US so i assume postage will still be expensive :S.

anyone from US/UK coming to malaysia soon? hehe

so it seems that mushkin doesnt work good on mbp
so kingston it is?? what about corsair??

can anyone provide the series of the kingston ram pls??

I reckon i need to wait up until year end to purchase my 4GB Rams. I have

other hobbies i need to fund The downside of being a gamer, and a computer

enthusiast.

Well no worries, the RAM can wait. Its not like you're severely handicapped with 2GB of RAM. The OS still flies. When times are right, then you upgrade. You'll appreciate the increase in performance after some months of owning it.

how much are the rams now?

can say around 300-320 for a pair of 2gb SODIMMs. i guess i'll just wait. will be having my 3 months holiday soon so i wont be using parallels much (which is the main reason i want more RAM).

i really need more RAM for my new Macbook Unibody cos it will lag when runing windows & on parallel desktop

macbook unibody 13" can use up to 4GB only eh??

need to upgrade ram too.. now 2GB not enough..

so was thinking to get 2GB x 2 .. anybody recon me seller in lowyat.net that selling ram for mac?

i guess max is 4GB. I'm also looking to upgrade to 4GB rams

saw seller in lowyat.net garage sale selling corsair and mushkin around rm160-165 for 2GB DDR3 1066mhz..

is this the best price i can get? or maybe there are cheaper than this?

If that's the price for Value RAM, you might as well purchase Mac RAM from Macsales (RM320 for 2GB*2). If the RAM doesn't work on your Mac, you'll be sure to get a replacement.

im not familiar with OWC actually. what chips are they using?

is it better to get 2x2gb, or 4gb+2gb? (my max is 6gb)
